V13 gen2 with BeesNeez CK12 + Cinemag

*These products are built to order and will sometimes take up to six weeks for delivery* After much consideration, Derek chose for this Custom Shop creation the BeesNeez CK12 capsule. This Australian-made beauty is manufactured using modern automated CNC machining and Ben is extremely knowledgeable of the original CK12s. One of the most complex (and revered) capsule designs ever conceived, the CK12 is the beating heart of some of the most hallowed vintage microphones. The Vanguard V13 gen2 is a large-diaphragm multi-pattern tube condenser microphone. Crafted by Derek Bargaehr and Ken Avant over the course of 3 years, their design goal was to combine vintage warmth with smooth modern detail. After extensive testing and listening by world-class engineers, we can say with pride that the performance of this mic rivals or exceeds iconic vintage & modern microphones at a fraction of the cost. The gen2 upgrades include US-made audiophile-grade low-noise resistors, Neutrik® Group Connectors, and a sturdier power supply. Also featured in this Custom Shop limited edition is a US-made Cinemag™ transformer emulating the properties of the famed T14 transformer found in vintage Austrian microphones. Using a larger core, along with higher-quality alloys and precision windings, the Cinemag obtains better low end response. Far from a clone, this unique V13 gen2+Ck12+Cinemag edition is a fresh approach to the vintage Austrian sound.
